Bulldog Battle

The Rules • The Winners

WHAT IS IT

Bulldog Battle is an opportunity for students living on campus to battle it out to highlight their room as the best room within the list of themes. Students may enter multiple months so long as they can show how the room highlights the theme for the month. Each month one winning room will be chosen, and at the end of the academic year, one of the winning rooms will be named Room of the Year.

All monthly winners will receive a Bulldog prize pack. 

The Room of the Year winners will also receive one mini projector per resident in the winning bedroom.
